The highly promising results from El Salvador’s first PISA for Schools assessment show what education reform can achieve when student learning is placed at the center—and change reaches the classroom. What is at stake is more than a score. It is a generation’s future and its prospects in the labor market. These preliminary findings, drawn from a group of schools, point to a path worth pursuing. The World Bank Group is proud to support El Salvador’s efforts to strengthen education and expand opportunities for generations to come. More on the assessment: bit.ly/4x7q1zQ

Most people don’t realize how insanely autonomous Falcon 9 already is Once Falcon 9 lifts off, almost the entire mission is executed by the rocket itself And the crazy part is This autonomy does not depend on generative AI It comes from brutally refined flight software, physics, sensors, control theory and advanced optimization.....improved across hundreds of missions Falcon 9 autonomously handles: → Liftoff and ascent through closed-loop guidance → Stage separation at precisely calculated conditions → Engine ignition and shutdown sequences → Orbital insertion and payload deployment → Booster boostback, entry and landing burns → Real-time guidance corrections during descent → Landing on a floating droneship hundreds of kilometers offshore → Autonomous flight termination if mission safety rules are violated A 70-meter orbital rocket launches itself, separates itself, puts a payload into orbit.....then the first stage falls back through the atmosphere and lands itself on a floating platform hundreds of kilometers offshore Physics, software, and hardware engineered to absurd precision Falcon 9 is one of the greatest autonomous machines humanity has ever built And SpaceX made it look routine

I’ve spent many many hours in every AV I can get my hands on and I can confidently say the Tesla Cybercab is the most enjoyable rider experience I’ve ever had

Most people have no idea how far ahead Tesla is, because the cars look and drive like other cars. But under the hood, Teslas bear little resemblance to other cars. Every component is (or will be) re-thought from first principles. Even if legacy automakers had the will to start from scratch (they don’t), they don’t have the capability. One example: Ford relies on 150 separate vendors just for its software. Codebases don’t integrate and Ford has to get supplier permission for modifications. Just unwinding that mess will take years. I recently bought a new Toyota for my daughter and it was like stepping back in time. Everything from the buying process to the car itself is largely the same as it was fifty years ago. It’s only improved incrementally. Tesla has built a massive technology lead and—equally importantly—has superior economics. Cybercab is the first example of Tesla leveraging that dominance, but it’s still early days.

Grok Build just got way better at keeping complex agent work moving without getting in your way Scheduled loops now run fully in the background, resumed sessions remember active loops, subagents and workflows, headless runs can launch inside isolated git worktrees, and MCP-heavy sessions start responding faster Release Notes: v1.0.19 Breaking Changes: • Scheduled /loop tasks always run in the background; they no longer inject turns into your conversation. Features: • New terminal theme option makes backgrounds transparent so the terminal's own colors show through. • MCP servers blocked by organization policy now show clear messages and are refused before any config change. • Session resume now tells the model what loops, subagents, and workflows were still running. • Dashboard now shows newly dispatched sessions immediately instead of waiting for the store. • Headless sessions (`grok -p`) now support the `--worktree` flag to run in a separate git worktree. • Dashboard now says 'Open session' instead of 'Add session' for the session picker button. • Multi-line bash commands now render with proper wrapping and highlighting when opening the block viewer. • /usage now works from the dashboard and shows account allowance when no session is active. Bug Fixes: • Fixed mid-turn UI freezes when the terminal stops reading output. • Fixed crashes that occurred when the terminal pane was closed while grok was exiting. • MCP server list in minimal mode now correctly shows policy-blocked servers. • URLs that wrap across multiple lines inside quotes or lists are now fully clickable. • The welcome screen composer now grows taller when you paste multi-line text. • Enterprise policy files are no longer deleted on startup when your team login is stored at a custom `GROK_AUTH_PATH`. • /feedback now drops unsupported images with a notice (matching the modal) and never loses your report text on save errors. • Feedback drafts keep their paragraph breaks when updated, and the modal no longer switches tabs unexpectedly. • Turn summary lines no longer lose their spacing after background tasks finish. • Thinking blocks no longer stay expanded after switching between fullscreen and minimal modes. Performance: • First prompt after login is faster when MCP servers are configured; they connect in the background.

Elon really put into perspective just how insanely massive the Sun is compared to Earth The Sun contains ~99.86% of all the mass in the entire Solar System Earth is basically a rounding error We live on this tiny rock next to an object so massive that almost everything else in the Solar System barely registers And that giant ball of nuclear fusion is dumping an unimaginable amount of energy into space every second

BREAKING 🚨 Georgian national charged with conspiring to launder proceeds of a $1.3 BILLION health care fraud scheme tied to Operation Gold Rush - the largest health care fraud case ever prosecuted by DOJ. Defendant allegedly worked for a Russian-based criminal organization that orchestrated a multi-billion-dollar scheme to defraud Medicare and other health insurers. Fraudulent claims allegedly relied, in part, on stolen identities of elderly and disabled Americans, generating millions in proceeds that were ultimately transferred overseas.
